Teaching Illegal Immigrants

I think that it is a great idea that teachers in California are teaching illegal immigrant children in person and are refusing to teach American students in person...

This is a great idea because it shows me and hopefully others just how hypocritical teachers are in their comments and in their actions.  The Democrats seem to be supporting the TEACHER'S UNIONS for some reason and don't mind harming our children and not listening to the science that President Biden promised he would do.

Illegal Immigrant children are being tested for COVID and 10% of these children are testing positive which further amazes me when it comes to teachers who want to teach these children in person.

I hope that PARENTS are PISSED OFF and start doing something about this...

AMERICA... is no longer a great country

America is moving towards Socialism and away from Capitalism that is currently being used to finance a socialistic agenda.

America is ranked 15th in the world in public education K-12.

America is racist, full of white supremacists, and white Americans have been living on white privilege since 1776.

America's Constitution does not reflect minority values...  only white privilege values.

America is controlled by whites with money where 10% of the population has 80% of the wealth.

America leads the world in the purchase of illegal drugs.

America's military is smaller than China's military:  Army, Navy, Air Force

America's National Debt is increasing and China owns ONE THIRD of that debt.

America's colleges and universities are DUMBING DOWN knowledge so that less qualified students can pass courses.

America's democratic form of government is being rejected by most of the other global countries.

America's military is forcing themselves on people in the Middle East who don't want them there.

Everybody Must Get Stoned

As reported by R. Schraer of BBC News:

A powerful hallucinogenic drug known for its part in shamanic rituals is being tried as a potential cure for depression for the first time.

Participants will be given the drug DMT, followed by talking therapy.

It is hoped this could offer an alternative for the significant number of people who don't respond to conventional pills for depression.

Psychedelic-assisted therapy might offer longer-term relief from symptoms, some researchers believe.

A growing body of evidence indicates other psychedelic drugs, particularly alongside talking therapy, are safe and can be effective for treating a range of mental illnesses.

This will be the first time DMT is given to people with moderate to severe depression in a clinical trial.

Carol Routledge, the chief scientific officer of Small Pharma, the company running the trial said: "We believe the impact will be almost immediate, and longer lasting than conventional antidepressants."
'Spirit molecule'

The drug is known as the "spirit molecule" because of the way it alters the human consciousness and produces hallucinations that have been likened to a near-death experience.

It is also the active ingredient in ayahuasca, a traditional Amazonian plant medicine used to bring spiritual enlightenment.

Researchers believe the drug might help loosen the brain's fixed pathways, which can then be "reset" with talking therapy afterwards.

Ms Routledge likened the drug to "shaking a snow globe" - throwing entrenched negative thought patterns up in the air which the therapy allows to be resettled into a more functional form.

But this hypothesis still needs to be proven.

The team is consulting Imperial College London, which runs the pioneering Centre for Psychedelic Research.

As part of the study, they hope to investigate whether the drug can be administered as a one-off or as part of a course.

Subjects will be followed up for at least six months to see how long the effects of the treatment last.

Meanwhile, a ketamine-assisted therapy clinic is set to open in Bristol next week.

While the drug is already used for depression in clinics like the ketamine treatment service in Oxford, it is not accompanied by psychotherapy.

Rather, it is used to provide temporary relief from symptoms for people who have very serious, treatment-resistant depression.

So-far unpublished researched presented at a conference by professor of psychopharmacology at the University of Exeter, Celia Morgan, suggests ketamine accompanied by therapy has much longer-lasting effects.

Prof Morgan said there was mounting evidence that drugs, including psilocybin, LSD, ketamine and MDMA (Ecstasy), were safe and could play a role in the treatment of mental health disorders.

And there was some early evidence they could have longer-term effects than the medicines conventionally prescribed as antidepressants, known as SSRIs, but more research was needed.

They also worked using a completely different mechanism, Prof Morgan explained.  READ MORE

Democrats FOREVER

I like the idea of making Washington DC and Puerto Rico states especially since those two areas are 90% Democrats and will give the Senate 4 more Senators which will mean that the ODDS are AGAINST the Republicans that they will ever control the Senate again...  What a great IDEA...

I also like the idea of increasing the size of the SUPREME COURT so that the Conservatives WILL NEVER AGAIN GAIN CONTROL of the highest court in the land...

I also like the idea of CENSORING CONSERVATIVE IDEAS so that the American Public NEVER HEARS the conservative side of the ALL ARGUMENTS...

AMERICANS NO LONGER NEED to have a two party system.  Americans deserve to have just the Democrats deciding what is going to happen in this country, like:

• Racism
• Taxes
• Employment
• Healthcare
• Wages
• Wealth
• Immigration
• Wars
• Terrorism
• Defunding police
• Reparations

I don't like the police telling me how fast I can drive

I don't like the idea of Americans owning firearms

I believe females should always abort babies

I don't fear the Russians

I don't fear the Chinese

I don't fear the North Koreans

I don't like Americans fighting overseas

I think the Feds should legalize marijuana

I want to receive an guaranteed income

I want immigrants to work so Americans don't have to

Everyone regardless of mental ability should attend college

We should take money away from the wealthy

Positive Affirmations

 Dinsa Sachan of Discover Magazine writes:

“Do you see this?” my dentist said, pointing a scaler to a section of my gums that was popping out between two teeth. “Yeah,” I said nonchalantly, looking into the mirror he handed me. My gums had been bleeding severely in March of last year, but before I could get them checked, India went into total lockdown to prevent the spread of COVID-19. It took me until the first week of November to walk into a dental clinic. The gum infection had understandably worsened.

The dentist said I might need a surgical procedure to fix the problem. To begin with, he recommended a rigorous oral hygiene routine — massaging my gums with an ointment and rinsing my teeth with a prescription mouthwash — that I diligently followed. When I returned for my follow up three weeks later, my gums had healed so well the dentist ruled out surgery.

I wondered if an intervention that my therapist had introduced me to played a role in my astonishing recovery. At her behest, I had reluctantly started using affirmations in 2019. But, frankly, I found it too woo-woo at the time — and gave up. Lying to myself, “I remain healthy,” when I clearly wasn’t, seemed appalling.

During the pandemic lockdown, my interest in affirmations was renewed when I started doing creativity exercises in Julia Cameron’s book, The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity, with an online group. Cameron’s a huge champion of affirmations. I restarted my affirmation practice a few weeks before my first dental appointment. Initially, I tried writing out affirmations and combining them with my “morning pages” — a journaling practice that's essential to Cameron’s program. For me, this involved examining my emotional struggles before veering into more uplifting topics, such as things I was grateful for and plans for achieving various goals. Later, I switched to a verbal style.

As I began my dental treatment, I added some gum-related statements for fun: “My gums are healing quickly.” And to my surprise, that's exactly what happened.  READ MORE

African Americans: Spring Breakers

Several news outlets have reported that Springer Breakers have invaded Florida and are not wearing facemasks, not social distancing, drinking alcohol in copious amounts, and in some cases are destroying property because they are drunk, high on drugs, or just don't give a shit about someone else's property.

One news outlet interviewed a young African American who was PISSED OFF because she was paying $185 each night and was not allowed to PARTY in a way that she wanted to PARTY...  In essence, she was pissed off at local authorities that were preventing her from doing whatever it was that she was doing simply because she paid money to be there.

It is funny in a way how young adults FEEL ENTITLED...

And...  once these children graduate and enter the marketplace as employees of some organization they are going to be even further surprised.

Being white and living my entire life (at least the black people think so) under white privilege, I have always seen SPRING BREAK even when I was a college student myself, as a justification for people to drink more than they should and ignore rules.

College students don't need SPRING BREAK to raise hell and drunk...  they can do that anytime they want...

And to see a student who is THAT STUPID to go on NATIONAL NEWS and say that because she spend so much money a night that she should be allowed to do whatever she wants...  makes her naive and foolish...  especially since the WHOLE COUNTRY knows who she is...  That recognition will not bode well for her in the future.

Crisis At The Border

According to President Biden and further promoted by Biden's Press Secretary as well as most all the Democratic Leaders in Congress, the problem at the border is a DIRECT RESULT of former President Trump's initiatives and actions...

Aside from the fact that pointing the finger is not very Presidential, does it really matter who caused the problem???  The problem is in the lap of the current President and right now the crisis at the border is getting worse not better...

FIX THE PROBLEM PRESIDENT BIDEN...  

IT IS NOW YOUR PROBLEM... 

SO FIX IT...

Blaming one's predecessor is a chicken shit move to make...  each President has to deal with what their predecessor has done.  What is REAL here with Biden is the fact that in the first few days of his administration, President Biden completely reversed just about everything that former President Trump put into place...  That reversal makes it HIS PROBLEM...  not his predecessor...

America's Greatest FLAW

From the moment that I understood what my parents were trying to tell me even though I did very little about it, I found it hard to believe that the most important aspect of one's life was the quest for money or GREED.  And, those who were incredibly more greedy than others, were praised because they were so financially successful.

All my classes in high school were specifically designed not for me to go out and get a job after graduation but to matriculate to a college or university because the pursuit of education would, in fact, allow me to earn more money during my career.  GREED.

The advice of my mentors during the years I was beginning my career was to do those things that would promote me through the ranks with the sole purpose of eventually getting to the top of the organization so that I could have more POWER and MONEY or GREED.

Immigrants come to the United States so that they can earn more money...   GREED

Problem:

As more and more Americans pursue GREED, it is obvious that 80% of Americans (or more) will be left behind and never acquire the GREED for which they have pursued all of their lives.  

So...  how does that work actually?

Well, if you have superior athletic skills then you can become a PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE in the areas of"

• football
• baseball
• basketball
• tennis
• gold
• soccer

OR... 

if you have artistic skills, you can become a:L

• professional musician
• professional singer
• professional artist
• actor or actress

If you do not have the SPECIAL SKILLS and most Americans do not have those SPECIAL SKILLS then your pursuit of GREED goes nowhere...  And, as you try harder and harder to pursue GREED, all it does is allow the WEATHY TO GET WEALTHIER...

Racism is not going to change this

BLM is not going to change this

White Privilege is not going to change this

White Supremacists are not going to change this

Black reparations is not going to change this

Socialism is not going to change this

Censoring conservatives is not going to change this

 2021:  MY MAIN CONCERNS

Divided America

Public Education

Immigration

Taxes

Domestic Terrorism

Conservative censorship

One party governance

Socialism

Racism

Wealthy getting wealthier

Scarce medical resources

Increase in drugs

What is not on the list is the fact that career politicians lie to the american public and have been lying to the american public for at least 60 years...  I grew up in the 1960's and the problems that we had back then are the same problems that we continue to have today and the politicians have always promised us that they are going to take care of it for us...  and, nothing has changed...  to me that is a lie...

the other issue that bothers me is the fact that one party puts actions into place and when the other party gets control they overturn all those policies of the other party.  this is one of the reasons why nothing ever gets done...

this is what politics does for us...

they care more about the party and their re-elections than they do about doing what is right for the american public.

americans pay the price.

Honest Politicians

We deserve honestly from our politicians, especially from the President of the United States...  I am not talking about past Presidents, because we all know that President Kennedy lied, President Johnson lied, President Clinton lied, President Nixon lied, and many Presidents withheld information from the public which in essence is a lie as well, but it not referred to as a lie...  just not telling the truth.

TODAY...

we have a President...  President Biden who says that the previous administration did not create the COVID Vaccine that his administration did...   not only is that a lie but President elect Biden received the COVID vaccine before his inauguration.  And, the irony about the lie is that he expects the mainstream media to push that narrative on his behalf.

President Biden says that his policies did not create in increase in illegal immigration but that the policies of the previous administration created this crisis at the border.  THAT IS A LIE AS WELL especially since the previous administration had closed the border and was building a wall.

President Biden said on the campaign trail that he would UNITE THE PARTIES but so far every bill that has passed through the Congress has had NO REPUBLICAN APPROVALS so nothing is actually being done to unite the two parties...  and, if the filibuster is eliminated, then the minority party will have NO VOICE AT ALL in the Senate as the Democrats will not any of their votes to pass legislation.

President Biden has been in office less than 100 days and has told THREE LIES to the American Public that mainstream media is not covering...

No Police

 Protect and Serve...

is the slogan that I see on the Police Cruisers that patrol our city streets and interstate highways but it bothers me tremendously when I see law enforcement hiding around corners or in the dips of roads so that drivers of vehicles cannot easily see them unless someone warns them in advance or unless they have been on that road before and actually seen them hiding...

It seems like law enforce is trying to CATCH and APPREHEND more than they are concerned with protecting and serving.

And, what is really interesting is the fact that on Monday through Friday on one of the main road connecting my city to Knoxville that has a posted speed limit of 55 mph...  in the early morning rush hour traffic from let's say 6:00 to 8:00 am, most of the traffic drives in excess of 80 mph and nowhere do you see law enforcement...  so, in essence they are saying that they do not need to protect and serve these workers...

The same kind of logic holds true on the interstate when there is a group of cars exceeding the posted speed limits...  these cars are left alone...  and law enforcement sees no reason there either to protect and serve.  However, if there is a lone car exceeding the posted speed limits then these law enforcement people will bend over backwards to make sure that they protect and serve.

This contradiction is WRONG and not only should be stopped but law enforcement MUST BE REMOVED and told to get another job.  Most drivers of vehicles know their vehicles and know how fast they are driving...  and if, they want to kill themselves and others...  that is their business and the business of lawyers who get to file law suits on behalf of the victims.

I agree with the BLM movement that police departments have abused their power and that they should be defunded, reduced in size, or in some cases eliminated.  People can learn to protect themselves and their own property.  This is one of the reasons that we have street gangs in most of our large cities...  to collect protection money from the local residents and consequently provide protection from inside and outside the neighborhood.  This process seems to be working well.

A Question of Ethics

(CNN Business)In September, Timnit Gebru, then co-leader of the ethical AI team at Google, sent a private message on Twitter to Emily Bender, a computational linguistics professor at the University of Washington.

"Hi Emily, I'm wondering if you've written something regarding ethical considerations of large language models or something you could recommend from others?" she asked, referring to a buzzy kind of artificial intelligence software trained on text from an enormous number of webpages.

Google reshuffles AI team leadership after researcher's controversial departure
The question may sound unassuming but it touched on something central to the future of Google's foundational product: search. This kind of AI has become increasingly capable and popular in the last couple years, driven largely by language models from Google and research lab OpenAI. Such AI can generate text, mimicking everything from news articles and recipes to poetry, and it has quickly become key to Google Search, which the company said responds to trillions of queries each year. In late 2019, the company started relying on such AI to help answer one in 10 English-language queries from US users; nearly a year later, the company said it was handling nearly all English queries and is also being used to answer queries in dozens of other languages.

"Sorry, I haven't!" Bender quickly replied to Gebru, according to messages viewed by CNN Business. But Bender, who at the time mostly knew Gebru from her presence on Twitter, was intrigued by the question. Within minutes she fired back several ideas about the ethical implications of such state-of-the-art AI models, including the "Carbon cost of creating the damn things" and "AI hype/people claiming it's understanding when it isn't," and cited some relevant academic papers.

Gebru, a prominent Black woman in AI — a field that's largely White and male — is known for her research into bias and inequality in AI. It's a relatively new area of study that explores how the technology, which is made by humans, soaks up our biases. The research scientist is also cofounder of Black in AI, a group focused on getting more Black people into the field. She responded to Bender that she was trying to get Google to consider the ethical implications of large language models.

Bender suggested co-authoring an academic paper looking at these AI models and related ethical pitfalls. Within two days, Bender sent Gebru an outline for a paper. A month later, the women had written that paper (helped by other coauthors, including Gebru's co-team leader at Google, Margaret Mitchell) and submitted it to the ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency, or FAccT. 

The paper's title was "On the Dangers of Stochastic Parrots: Can Language Models Be Too Big?" and it included a tiny parrot emoji after the question mark. (The phrase "stochastic parrots" refers to the idea that these enormous AI models are pulling together words without truly understanding what they mean, similar to how a parrot learns to repeat things it hears.)          READ MORE

Our Federal Government should CONTROL IT ALL...  The Democrats and the LIBERALS know what's best for AMERICANS...  They like to spend money and I for one like to receive money...  let the wealthy pay for it.

Socialism NOW....

CAPITALISM is an economic and political system in which the country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit rather than by the government...

It is because of capitalism the the United States has so many millionaires and billionaires because they only motivation for these people is increasing their profits.  In order to increase one's profits, one must have a labor force that can be manipulated an financially abused so that the owners can increase their profits.  These profits usually go into the pockets of the owners or back into the company to expand BUT NEVER is shared with the workforce that were responsible for creating those profits.

THIS IS WHY CAPITALISM SHOULD BE REPLACED BY SOCIALISM...

Government should own the trade and industry so that the profits can be highly taxed, used for expansion, or equally divided among the workers.  However, in lieu of sharing profits with the workers, governments can use the tax to provide free services like:

• free education
• free healthcare
• free housing
• free food
• free clothing
• free transportation
• free entertainment
• free recreation

It is TOTALLY UNFAIR that some people are born with extraordinary athletic skills and can therefore used those skills to make more money than those people who are not born with those skills...   UNFAIR...  UNFAIR...  UNFAIR...

Wealthy Whites

Fixing America

After living almost three quarters of a century, I have developed the realization that American Democracy IS NOT a good form of government because it places the control in the hands of an intellectually ignorant public who has no idea what is best for them and could easily be persuaded to cast their votes in such a way that it eliminates their ability to have freedom of choice without fully understanding what they have done to themselves.  The American public is mentally lazy and politically and  economically void of any kind of intellectual commitment to acquire a working understanding of what needs to be done.

We should have a government where the general public has NO CONTROL at all like what is found in a Dictatorship or Communism.  Americans need to be told what to do, when to do it, and how to do it or else they will make bad choices.

After living almost three quarters of a century, I have come to the realization that Capitalism and our Free Market Enterprise system is COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE for Americans.  Capitalism has allowed 20% of the population to live a wealthy lifestyle while the remaining 80% live a lifestyle that is substantially less than what they deserve.

• We don't need athletes that are multi millionaires
• We don't need actors/actresses that are multi millionaires
• We don't need musicians and singers that are multi millionaires
• We don't need CEO's that are multi millionaires
• We don't need physicians that are multi millionaires
• We don't need public officials that are multi millionaires

It is the responsibility of THE WEALTHY to not just take care of their family but the rest of the population.  Their wealth should be shared with the rest of the population.  If they don't want to share their wealth, then they don't need to earn it...  but, if they do earn it they should share it.

OUR GOVERNMENT should control ALL CORPORATIONS AND BUSINESSES on behalf of the rest of the population...   and OUR GOVERNMENT should not allow the population to have CHOICES and FREE SPEECH.  

SOCIALISM and quite possibly COMMUNISM is the only form of government that should be allowed in the United States so that it can take proper care of its citizens.
